My other hobby is R/C airplane flying. 



Here are some pictures of my scratch built R/c version of a kolb firestar / firefly. I have not completed it yet. Its pretty much done except for setting up the radio and adding wing struts.

Jabiru  has said earlier that only a wood or wood core prop was recommended.Has this changed recently?Had to do with vibration absorbing to relieve some flywheel attach issues.

Gary,



I haven't followed lately what Jabiru is saying about wood props, but our local dealer is using a composite Sensenich prop on his Jabiru plane.  Sensenich thoroughly tested them for use on Jabiru engines, and I have enough confidence in them that I bought one.

   I also have a prince Q-tip composite prop for my 2200 ,but it has a wood  core.I'd love to try a 3 blade but at these rpms it might be just as loud..

  Thanx G.Aman

Best I can say is that our highly regarded Jabiru dealer has one on his plane and sells them also, as well as selling Jabiru props.  As  I mentioned in previous post, I haven't followed what Jabiru is saying.

Gary,



For sure the rpms are high, but as I mentioned in a previous post, much of the noise comes from the prop blades chopping the air off the wings, the 3-blade having half as much blade to chop as a two.  Of course, I think your beautiful Q-tip comes only as a two.

Sorry Joe,

   P-tip.  That would look a little out of place in my medicine cabinet.

Grant:



Is that a replacement for the dastardly expensive, however well matched and 

performing Kolb powerplant, the 912ULS?
